Secondary prevention refers to interventions aimed at preventing or reducing the development of impairments following pathology. Therefore, this is the logical choice in the context of the Verbrugge and Jette (1994) model. Primary prevention aims to prevent the onset of disease or injury, tertiary prevention focuses on reducing the secondary complications of pathology, and quaternary prevention involves mitigating the negative consequences of medical overuse or overtreatment.
